We've put together a list of
team-building activities for company retreats in
Toulouse
, including options that work well for both small and large teams.
Treasure hunt routes through Capitole and Saint-Sernin, evenings by the Garonne, and relaxed mornings shape this retreat agenda in Toulouse.
Toulouse is a strong option for teams that want a lively southern French city with a more relaxed and local feel than Paris. A company retreat in Toulouse blends culture, food, and a youthful atmosphere, with a balance between structured work and social time.
Most teams fly into Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (TLS), located about 8 km from the city center, with transfer times typically around 20–30 minutes by taxi or 30–40 minutes by public transport.
April to June and September to October tend to offer the best conditions, with temperatures around 20–28°C. Summers can be hot, while winter is milder but more suited to indoor-focused retreats.
Capitole is ideal for central access and first-time visits, Carmes offers a more local and social feel, and Saint-Cyprien provides a slightly quieter base with easy access to the center. The right choice depends on whether your retreat is more social or more focused.
Teams often plan food tours, wine tastings, escape rooms, cycling along the Canal du Midi, and cultural visits. The city also offers unique options like aerospace-themed experiences linked to its Airbus heritage.
A 3 day retreat can work, but 4 days usually gives a better balance between work sessions and team activities without rushing.
Toulouse has a more youthful and laid-back energy compared to cities like Bordeaux or Paris. Its mix of student life, aerospace industry, and southern culture gives it a more casual and dynamic feel.
Yes, the city is compact and well-organized, with meeting venues, restaurants, and activity locations all within short distances. This makes it easy to structure productive mornings and more relaxed afternoons.
Summer heat, choosing central accommodation, and planning activities in advance are key factors. It also helps to keep locations close together to simplify logistics.
Teams can enjoy regional dishes like cassoulet, local wines, and lively dining in squares and terraces. Social experiences often include long dinners, market visits, and relaxed evenings by the Garonne River.
In full transparency, everyone loved it. People are still talking about it. The main goal was team bonding and you helped me to reach it.
Everyone was delighted by the venue, the activities, the transfer coordination and everything! Long live Surf Office! Can’t wait to plan our next company retreat with you :)
Our team offsite retreat was excellent - great food, weather and activities. Even the people that couldn't attend wished they could have made it. And the location was perfect. Surf Office - Thank you very much for your help and support with planning and organization - and Beatriz our retreat manager was fantastic - fast, efficient and always kept us informed. It really made the difference. It really did!
Surf Office helped us plan our 60 person staff retreat, scoping locations, venues, restaurants, activities, and more. Angela was really on top of it and paid close attention to all of the details. Definitely saved us time on research and back-and-forth with all of the various contact persons!
We went into talks with SurfOffice and hit it off with the founders to make this happen. Theres a team that will guide you through the choice and a platform for when you are to arrive with an agenda. Our team likes to bring in community members to these types of events and the crew is excited. The onboarding is going well and we paid the deposit, and we're looking forward to the trip. Our party had to reduce significantly due to constraints and the team has been accomodating so far. 5* everyone had a good time and Rayna on site made everyone feel comfortable.
The location was great, the areas dedicated to us were amazing and all things we asked for were there - also, I love the shared dashboard to organize.
I recently worked with Surf Office to organize an offsite retreat for my company in Gran Canaria, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Beatriz, the retreat planner, was incredible. From start to finish, she was exceptionally organized, responsive, and attentive to every detail. Planning a retreat for a team can be daunting, but Beatriz made the process seamless. She answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly, and her recommendations were spot-on. The offsite itself was beyond amazing – the accommodations and activities were perfectly tailored to our team’s needs. Surf Office took all the stress out of planning and delivered an unforgettable experience for our group. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to plan a work retreat. If you’re lucky enough to have Beatriz as your planner, you’re in great hands!
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
